THOMPSON OKANAGAN
A LANDSCAPE AS DIVERSE AS THE ADVENTURES WITHIN IT
Water has always helped shape this part of BC. Rivers carve through broad valleys, long lakes stretch between mountain ranges and dry grasslands rise toward rolling plateaus. Farther north, the landscape keeps climbing.
Winter adds another layer.
Across this remarkably varied landscape, communities have turned very different terrain into places worth travelling to ride. Settle in behind the bars on beautifully groomed trails, or follow them toward deep snow, technical trees and big mountain terrain where getting away from it all is part of the appeal.
